Duty-free days in every state in 2017

If you plan to do a grand shopping in 2017, you can do it on days when your purchases will not be taxed, if the state you live in has implemented such a policy.

States often spend these “holidays” at certain times of the year, for example, at the height of the shopping season before the start of the school year or on the eve of the hurricane season. You can save a decent amount of money by pre-planning purchases during tax holidays.

In some states, tax-free days were introduced on which Americans can buy certain goods without paying sales tax. For example: the essentials of the hurricane season, computers, and even hunting gear.

If you want to reduce your taxable income, you should consider buying on a tax-free day in your state or in your neighboring state to offset the costs.

For example, in Missouri, sales tax is 4,225%, which means that you would save $ 42,25 by purchasing goods on $ 1 000.

Preparation for school

Many states introduce tax holidays for the preparation season for the school year. As a rule, this occurs at the beginning or middle of August and before the beginning of the school year. Buyers can buy school supplies, some clothes and computer equipment in several states without paying sales tax on these specific days.

Hurricane season preparation

In some of the states that suffer the most from hurricanes, the days are introduced when Americans can buy everything they need to survive the hurricane season without paying a sales tax. Generators and other consumables for preparing for extreme weather conditions are more popular.
